A Florida woman is fed up with drivers who speed through her neighborhood, so she decided to do something about it.

Kali Gillespie lives in Pinellas County. She recently put up a yellow flashing light in her front yard to warn drivers to slow down.

Police told her the light is illegal. When she wouldn't take it down, she got a $200 ticket.

"I don't consider it a traffic signal at all. When I see a light like this, it's cautionary to me," she said.

Gillespie said she plans to fight the ticket in court. She claims all she wants to do is shed some light on a dangerous problem in her neighborhood.
